For the first time, Ella felt like she won against her evil cousin. Her cousin was face-slapped when Zu Wan claimed himself as Ella's father.
"Father, thank you for backing me up!" Ella said to Zu Wan cheerfully.
Just like what he was doing before to Zhen-Zhen, Zu Wan gently patted Ella's head.
"No one will bully you as long as I am here. So don't be afraid."
Ella bobbed her head vigorously while grinning from ear to ear. She was so happy knowing that someone was willing to defend her. Zu Wan indeed acted like her father.
Zu Wan and Ella entered the house and closed the door, unaware that someone was watching them secretly.
Mheera was done observing Zu Wan. As for now, she couldn't see any sign that he was the demon god aside from his looks.
She would leave a spying spell in that house so that she could continue to monitor Zu Wan's movement. Once she confirmed that he was the demon god, she would make a move.
Mheera went back to Leo's Villa. Her mind was occupied by the demon god.
'Is it possible that the demon god is alive? According to our elders, he just disappeared but it didn't mean he died. If he has been living in this world, is it possible that he found a new family?'
Mheera thought that Ella and Titania were Zu Wan's family since the little girl was calling him father.
Upon arriving at Leo's Mansion, Mheera looked for Liam. She saw her outside, laying on the grass under the shade of the tree.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMheera stopped on her track to observe Liam from a distance. Her feelings never changed. Her heart would race rapidly whenever he was close by.
She was totally smitten by Liam's charm. He was so gorgeous with his plain white shirt and blue jeans. He was so relaxed in his current position.
His eyes were closed. He folded his two arms over his head and used them as his pillow. Liam was also on vacation right now so he was enjoying his time being with nature.
He loved watching the green field, hanging out under the trees, and breathing the fresh air.
Mheera couldn't help but smile. Liam still had the same habit. He often did this when he was in their world.
As Mheera recalled that Liam didn't want to return, the smile disappeared from her face.
"He doesn't belong here. Why is it he wants to stay here? I will not give up. I will convince him to return to our world," Mheera mumbled to herself as she traced her steps towards Liam.
"You are here…" Liam mumbled. His eyes were closed but he still knew that the person who arrived was Mheera.
"Yes…"
"Where have you been?" Liam asked her again before opening his eyes.
"To my friend… she's sick."
Mheera sat on the ground next to Liam. He also sat up so that he could talk properly with Mheera.
"Liam, can you help me?"
"Help you with what?"
"My friend, Hannah… She became blind because of a demon curse. Can you help me heal her using your healing ability? She needs our help."
Liam had conflicting thoughts after hearing that. Now he understood why there was a dark aura surrounding Hannah before. Zhen-Zhen might have used her power to cast a demon curse on her.
"No. I can't help her," Liam said firmly.
Hannah tried to kill Zhen-Zhen and her baby. He couldn't help her because of that. He was mad at her for trying to hurt Zhen-Zhen.
Now, his decision was being affected by his feelings for Zhen-Zhen. He was a healer so he had a responsibility to heal someone who got sick because of dark magic like this curse.
"But why? You have to help her. You are the only one who can bring back her eyesight," Mheera begged him.
"She did despicable things. I can't tolerate that. This might be her karma. I will not interfere. Please understand… Mheera."
"Can't you give her a second chance?" Mheera was persistent enough to convince Liam.
"Mheera, those people whom she hurt… they already gave her a second chance… no not only a second chance… but many more chances."
"But Hannah didn't cherish those things. She became selfish, greedy, and very scheming. Let it be, Mheera. Through this, she will learn her lesson."
Mheera could only sigh in defeat. Since Liam's decision was firm, she couldn't change his mind easily. She didn't want to argue with him.
She might be calling him by his name, Liam in this world, but it didn't change the fact that he was still their guardian leader. She had to respect his decision.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMheera had decided to change the topic. She had something more important to discuss with him.
"Liam, do you think the demon god is still alive?"
Liam was bewildered after hearing that out-of-the-blue statement of Mheera. Now, he was curious.
"Why? What do you mean? Why did you suddenly ask this?"
'Did she see FaMo in his human form? Mheera shouldn't find out or else, she might trace Zhen-Zhen. She will learn that the demon god's daughter is still alive.'
"I saw a person who looks like the demon god. But I am not certain because I can't sense any strong magical power in him. He looks like an ordinary person."
"Or maybe he is just pretending to be an ordinary person in this world, hiding his true identity."
Liam didn't know what to say. It seemed that Mheera was getting closer to the truth. Would it be hard to hide the truth from her? He hoped that Zhen-Zhen and Mheera would not cross paths.
"Where did you see the demon god? I will try to check and confirm it."
Liam was afraid that Mheera saw FaMo and Zhen-Zhen together.
"I saw him in the hospital this morning. When he left the hospital I followed him to their house."
Liam became anxious after hearing that. 'Don't tell me she followed him to the Davis Family Mansion.'
"Tell me the address…"
"Okay. By the way, I also planted a spying spell on their backyard. With that, we can monitor his movement through my crystal ball."
Mheera showed Liam her crystal ball showing the backyard of Ella's residence. Liam frowned when he saw a small bungalow house on the crystal ball.
'Huh? Where is this place? This is not the Davis Family Mansion. Does it mean… Mheera saw a different person who looks like the demon god? Not FaMo?'
